Can I keep this plant indoors.? Does it need direct light if indoors?

Yes, bring it indoors if it is going to freeze. Put it in the garage where it is still cold & gradually bring it in. It can take cold but gradually. Direct sun light will not hurt it. About the only thing that will hurt it is over watering it. Mine died after a 23 degree night. It was too young to take the freeze.

All bonsai do better outdoors. You can keep it inside for a day at max, if you wish to display it. Don't place it near vents. Anyway, I'd advise against getting this particular tree. I recommend juniper.

If you are planning on growing it indoors, I don't see why not? Outdoors, I'd ask your local garden center if there are varieties that will thrive in your outdoor climate.

Good morning, Mary. Yes, you may use this lamp indoors. I hope you find this information helpful. Adreanna, Plow & Hearth Customer Service

Yes but it depends on where you're at and where you have them. I'm in Texas (Dry, hot and humid climate) but my plants are kept indoors in front of a window.

I just received mine about 2 weeks ago and it is growing, it is not dormant. I have it indoors.

Hello Denise, Your question is very good one, especially those that do not know how to work with plants. Yes this can be used indoors as long as you have a water catcher, you don't want those bottom plants to drown. As for my self I do use this inside and outside.Good planting,Sue

No not really. If you have a well lit room or put it by the window-- it will grow slowly indoors but I don't put it outside untill earlly spring.

I'm in CA too. I have mine in a pot that I move to a warmer area when it gets below 35 at night. I forgot to move it one night a few weeks ago when it hit 30 degrees and I've been struggling to keep it alive ever since. If it survives, I will put it inside under a grow light next Winter. Not sure what the plan is when/if it gets bigger.

No this one doesn't have the light you would need to keep a plant that large going. You will need one of at least 15 watts to give you enough light. This one is under 5 watts. Go for a larger wattage. Hope this helps.

I think it would depend on where it's planted and how much moisture it gets. I live in Blackwell,TX (u can google it & see what zone I live in). I managed to keep it for 2 years and then it died. I felt the sun just cooked it to death even tho I babied it. So maybe it doesn't do well with alot of hard, hot, direct sun.

It depends on amount of light you can give it. The included LED light will not be enough light for growing plants.

It's an indoor plant the enjoys medium light, a lot depends on where you live.

It would be better inside near a window or in a fully shaded spot outdoors. You will need to watch the water level it will need to be filled every couple days or the plants will dry up and the Aero-Grow will probably manfunction mechanically if it dries out.

I am growing mine inside and put it outside in the warmer weather. It does need a sunny location to flower but if you don't have that area the plant is still pretty. I live in MA in a cold apartment with very little light so it doesn't flower and I also forget to water it a lot and it has been a very forgiving plant but of course it doesn't thrive when I neglect it.

It should do fine. However, as you'll only get a little sun during the summer months, it would be a good idea to get some augment light, such as a small LED grow light. I keep mine indoors all the time -- it's not going to get too big -- and I have augmented light. Just don't let the temperatures get below 60 degrees as it is tropical.

Absolutely!! I love my Brussel's Chinese Bonsai. I keep my plant mostly indoors, and in the lanai, but bring it out occasionally in the rain.I am very pleased with my purchase. My Bonsai is still as beautiful as it was when I bought it last year. I intend to buy more.

Yes, it actually says not to put it in direct sunlight. I grow mine in a shaded corner of my counter.
